Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (finely chopped) yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it turns translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red chili flakes, and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and sugar to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in the white vinegar, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a regular blender.)
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
